A thirteen meter Sea Ray sport cruiser with one person onboard partly sank after hitting a solid object at about 17:00 hours of Monday second October to the South West of Valcour Island, Mallets Bay, Lake Champlain, Burlington, Vermont. Receiving a call the Cholchester Fire department rescued to owner-boater with its rescue boat, the coast guard followed later, and started the operation to save the Sea Ray sport cruiser, which was sinking in over a meter of water and its bow already buried in water. The coast guard initiated the saving with a gas-powered pump and later received the assistance from Red Cap Marine and Salvage who added another pump, floated and patched the Sea Ray and then towed her to Champlain Marina area and dry docked her. No one was injured in the collision, with the solid object opening a gap of about two foot in the sport cruiser's hull bottom to port side.
The Sea Ray in this part sinking is a 440 Sundancer as produced from 1993 to 1995. The 440 Sundancer was a replacement to the 420 Sundancer, and was replaced by the Sea Ray 450 Sundancer.
